The War Spirit in Europe.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says:
"Inteliigent and observant New
Workers, who have just returned from
Europe after sojourn for some time
in France and Germany, assert that it
is well-nigh impossible for US at this
distance to realize the bitter feeling
existing between the people of the
two countries, which manifests itself
in thousand ways. even in the pet
tiest details of every day life. Mr.. G.
w. Sweet, of the Record and Guide,
who was in Paris during the Schnae-
BILE incident, for example, says: My
children had with them a German
nurse, who was cautioned by the Ger
man walters in our hotel not to speak
any German on the streets, as she
would be likely to have her face slap
ped by any one who should oVerhear
her speaking thatlanguage. At Vichy
I saw young Prussian officer hooted
out of the town simply because he was
a German. France is united as one
man. 1t needs but very limited res,
idence in Germany for one to see and
recognize that to-day the Germans are
far ahead of any nation in Europe in
everything which relates to the art OF
war. The country seems to be think
ing of nothing but its army, ana tne
thought is always that that army shall
soon again find its way to France.
When it does, it will find different ma
terial to cope with from what 1t met
at the last visit.

Womanly Beauty United to Nader

The Lord Shaftesbury once said that
Young ladies would be surprised to
find with what respect they would be
treated by the forlorn classes if they
would 90 amongst them with a view
to education. In one of the worst
parts of London, he said, there was an
institution which he visited. In one
room he found about thirty-five men
listening to the teachings of the
daughter of a small shop-keeper in the
neighborhood, and she was one of the
prettiest women he ever saw in his
life. He noticed that there was no
one present but the young woman
with those rough men, and he said to
the superintendent, "Are you afraid to
leave my little friend alone with all
those 2" He replied, 81 am" "Then
why don't you 90 to her?" "4ou mis-
take my fear. am not afraid of them
doing her any harm. They love her
so much that they would kiss the
ground on which she walks; but am
afraid some person may step in, and
not being under authority, or knowing
the manners of the place, may say
something impertinent to her. and il
he did he would not leave this place
alive. 1t is indeed one of the most
cheering facts to such as work for the
education of the human race that wo.
manly beauty when united to maiden
modesty ommands the homage of the
most degraded.

He Wasn't Ashamed.

A clerk and his country farmer en-
tered a restaurant Saturday evening,
and took seats at a table where sat a
telegraph operator and reporter. The
old man bowed his head, and was
about to say grace, when waiter flew
I'M. singing, II have beefsteak, cod
fsh. balls and bull-heads." Father
and son gave their orders, and the far
mer bowed his head. The young man
turned the color of blood-red beet,
and touched his fathers arm, exclaim.
ing in low, nervous tone:
"Father, it isn't customary to do
that in restaurants !"
"It's customary with me to return
thanks to God, wherever I am" said
the old man.
For the third time he bowed his
head, and his son bowed his head, and
the telegraph operator paused in the
act of carrying his beefsteak and bow,
ed his head, and the journalist pushed
back his fish ball and bowed his head,
and there wasn't man who heard the
short and simple prayer that didn't
feel O profounder respect for the old
farmer than if he had been President
of the United States.-Erchange.

Don't Hear Everything.

The art of not hearing should be
learned by all. 1t is fully as import
ant to domestic happiness as cult
waited ear, for which 80 much money
and time are expended. There are SO
many things which it is painful to
hear-many which we ought not to
hear-very many, which, if heard,
will disturb the temper, corrupt SIM
plicity and modesty, detract from con-
tentment, and happiness-that every
one should be educated to take in or
shut out sounds, according to his
pleasure.
If man falls into violent passion,
and calls US all manner of names, at
the first word we should shut our ears,
and hear no more. If, in our quiet
voyage Of life, we find ourselves caught
in one Of those domestic whirlwinds
of scolding, we should shut our ears
as a sailor would furl his sails, and
making all tight, scud before the gale.
If hot and restless man begins to in
flame our feelings, we should consider
what mischief those fiery sparks may
do in our magazine below, where our
temper is kept, and instantly close the
door.
If, as has been remarked, all the
petty things said of one by needless or
ill-natured idlers were to be brought
home to him, he would become mere
walking pincushion, stuck full of
sharp remarks. If we would be hap
py when among good men, we should
open our ears; when among bad men,
shut them. 1t is not worth while to
hear what our neighbors say about our
children, what our rivals says about
our business, our dress, or our affairs.
The art of not hearing, though un-
taught in our schools, is by no means
unpracticed in society. We have no.
ticed that no well-bred woman hears
vulgar or impertinent remark. A
kind of discreet deafness saves one
from many insults, from much blame,
from not little connivance in dishon-
orable bleconversation.-4Teasure-I ITove.

Tie Good Fortune of Having Good
Taste.

There is no more fundamental test
of character than taste. A company
Of young people come down the street
at evening. Gradually they separate.
Some find their way to concerts, read
ing-rooms, libraries; others to saloons,
billiard-rooms, and low theatres. You
observe the difference in their CONVEX
sation. 1t is q difference of taste.
The low man must find his enjoyment
in low pleasures. To these his charac-
ter shuts him up. He is "himself his
own dark jail"
A brilliant Frenchman once said
"Style is the man." This was SUI
perficial judgment. He would have
done much better had he said |: Taste
is the man. Tastes are settled prefer
ences, and these make up character.
AS the taste is, so is the man. People
often confess more than they intend
when they disclose their tastes. II
have no taste for reading," one says.
This means: I have little or no inter-
est in ideas; / have feeble intellectu-
al character. Others have no taste for
religious services or exercises. We
understand them. They care little for
religious truth or for spiritual culture.
What great blessing will it be to
us, then, if we early form taste for
the highest and best things! 1t will
make US proof at once against many
temptations. Select in thought one of
the purest and best men in your COM
munity, and imagine some one propos-
ing 10 him to pass night in drunk
ell revel. Such proposal could not be
to him the slightest temptation. All
his tastes run another way.
Things that now seem hard to be
done, will grow easy if we can keep at
them until we have formed taste for
them. A department of knowledge is
half mastered when we have formed a
thorough-going taste for it. Those
who develop q taste for reading will
read; 10 others will. Those who per-
severe in duty-even though it may
not for the time be pleasant-will be
quite sure to develop an interest in
their work and this is the first step to
the formation Of taste for it, and such
a taste is one of the best guarantees of
both pleasure and success in it.

A Marriage Charm.

Young wives and husbands cannot
be too strongly reminded of the proba-
BILE shipwreck they will make of their
happiness if they yield to that ill-tem-
per which expresses its elf in discount
esy, want of compliance, unnecessary
opposition, and, above all, that disas-
trous amusement Of "nagging" and
creating q row. Hundreds of house
holds have gone wrong from the mere
want OF checking in time the habit of
annoying as a relief to momentary
feeling of irritation or discomfort. The
wife who gets into the way of contra
dieting or "checking," her husband,
of opposing him in small things and
standing out in large husband
who is sneering, tempestuous, tyran-
nical, fault-finding; perhaps neither
side knowing the whole extent Of its
folly, but lust giving way to it as more
easy than to fight. and conquer it
these young people are doing their
best to dig the grave of their married
peace; and some day, poor, fainting
little love will fall into it stark and
plumeless, and will never rise to life
again. In the beginning these little
tiffs and discOmfOrts are made up with
kiss from him and few tears from
her to add cement to the reconcilia-
ton. BY time the tiffs are more ac-
rid, ami the reconciliation is less
warm. BY still further time this
never comes at all; and thing get into
that chronic state when there is never
an open breach and never a formal
healing, but an overwhelming rift and
a never-ending coldness. Then the
two lives Jar and grind like rusty him
ges; locks which misfit the slot,
wheels where the axle is stiff, or any
thing else which would never work to-
gether in harmony and smoothness,
for which, for want of care to keep the
adjustment exact, perhaps for want of
oil to the joints. creak, and hang, and
chafe, and do not fit-to the annoy
ance, and more, of all the bystanders.

One Hour.

The great clock in the church stee-
pie struck three; the afternoon sun
slowly waned, and the shadows length
ened in the streets. The clock struck
four. .
It was only an hour. The children
playing on the sidewalk did not know
that it had gone; but in it a great
hearted man had written down some
strong, true words, which will live
long in the world, and give courage
and help to many struggling souls.
In it chemist, working with brain
and hand over carefully prepared COM
pounds, had discovered one of the se-
crets of nature-how the atoms of ele-
ments group themselves to form q
mole-cule of organic matter. :.
In it four women, sitting with their
sewing on yonder porch, had brought
out old, forgotten scandals, and set
them loose again in the world, likefy-
ing scorpions, to poison and to kill.
In that hour young man in the
next house to them has yielded to q
temptation which never will loose Its
grip on him while he lives.
In the same time a woman with 8
child on her lap tells him story with
high, pure meaning, which will be q
''larnp to his feet" all the days of his
life.
Another woman watching silent and
motionless by a sick bed, fills the hour
with prayers and high thoughts, that
will serve as food for her soul in the
trouble which is coming to her.
How many of US remembered that
the hour was passing-a servant, laden
with the report which we should give
to it-up to God? .
What report did it carry of us?
What burden are we making ready at
this moment for the hour that is pass
ing now? :,
"Only an hour! Yet the despised
slave" says AntIgonus, "may be Ia
den with treasure that would ransom
a Caesar. - Youths Companion.

Expensive Marriages.

We suggest that they 90 not too
widely in wedding expenses. 1t is a
curious fact that excitement often
drives economical people into extrava-
gance. This is almost universally
true of young people, when preparing
for marriage. They begin modestly,
and without ever dreaming of the per-
lis which await them. They enter the
emporium of fashion, and are dazzled
by the fine things which seem so adj
mirably fitted for wedding times.
They read thrilling reports of other
marriages-the elaborate trousseauX,
the floral displays, the expensive sup
pers, the costly diamonds, and the ex-
pensive tours. 1t sets them on fire.
They long to eclipse all rivals. The
ambition for q snowy wedding takes
full possession of them. Under the
spell of excited sentiment, they fancy
that they are rich, and 60 to the full
limit of their credit. The marriage
over, away they HE on blissful jour-
neys, sweetly imagining that they
have the first mortgage OH all human
happiness.
But the end comes. After cooling
and languishing awhile around eXpen-
sive hotels, walking their lightly boot
ed feet sore through museums, art gal
leries and public buildings, and spend
ing the snug little pile with which
they started, they come home. Then
opens to them the blue and dismal
side of matrimony. Bills forever for
gotten, in the hands of agents who
never forget, come rolling in. The
smile of the bridegroom darkens into
the frown of the husband, and he
grows crusty, nervous and respondent.
He has an attack of congested poverty.
He can't spare to his wife change to
mend her broken bracelet or buy q
pound of candy. The day of senti-
ment is gone, and the sobered couple
limp out into real life, with debt Oh
their shoulders.
No, young people, do not lose your
wits. Marriage is more than a brill
liant wedding; it means long pull to.
gether up the hill of life. And it will
be hard enough without strapping
needless burdens Oh your backs.
In all charity believe that your
brother desires to hold only Christ's
truth; but do be sure that you hold it
Yourself whether he holds it or not.
